Hey there guys,
So my computer has decided to no longer function properly, and I believe it to be a hardware failure but I would like a second opinion before I try to deal with the manufacturers. So today my computer crashed for no reason, and I had to re install my operating system which is Windows 8. However, my SSD hard drive was no longer showing up in my bios menu and when I went to install windows, I could only put it on my 1TB hard drive that I was using a secondary. MY SSD is 256 GB and is a Seagate
So I installed it there and still, no sign of my SSD. So I am assuming my SSD has failed. However, when I try to re install my motherboard drivers, the computer breaks and is unable to start. The system will start to boot then give me an error message stating my computer has run into problems and needs to restart. The error message below displays so fast that it is impossible to read it. The computer just infinitely keeps restarting once I get to this point. So what I am wondering is if this could be a duel hardware failure, or if my current hard drive is simply to old to handle the newer hardware of my custom made machine. I took it out of my old hp laptop that I had sense high school so I can't really say to much about what it is other then it's 1TB. The rest of my system specs are below.
ASUS Rampage IV Gene LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Let me know what it could be and where a good place to go from where I am already at which is the infinite reboot. Could this be that my old hard drive simply can't handle the rest of my system, or could there potentially be a problem with my motherboard? Thanks in advance for any help you offer.
